Killerton House Collaboration Project
 
These are all items from a handling collection within Killerton house that we visited for a new collaboration project this term. If we are lucky enough for our garments to be picked they will feature alongside this pre-warn original garments.

---- A 1920's child's jacket. Which is so delicate and had to be handled by a Killerton House member who worn protective gloves.
 

 ----This is a petty coat that has stayed out of direct sun light and been kept from damage. This has ment that the original coloured threads and stitching has been preserved much better than the image on the right which has had a lot of wear and sunlight damage. ----
 
 ----Vibrant colours of red greens and pinks which have been un-damaged and still haver the original pleating and frilling which was made in the 1700's.

Digital designs
  
 
A photoshop design image of a idea for my final piece. I find photoshop very hard to use as there are so many technical elements to each section however i do like how you can create a more realistic design than when you are drawing one from hand, so here is a brief over view of how to use photoshop: Uploads an new image in the file tool bar, copy and paste another image of texture of pattern, doubling them for each section you want the pattern/ colour to be in.
 
My photoshoot !!
 
These are the final edited images of my garment.

         More design ideas which I really love, again because of the collage aspect.
This whole range was inspired by garments that are more visually worn rather than what is traditionally worn off the catwalk onto the high street. These piece are more unconventional than classic lingerie.


 
These are pages from my sketch book from my latest project, These pages include design ideas from many medias. I like working with collage and layers, building layer upon layer of material, drawings and paint and I feel this way of working makes the drawing ideas more realistic and detailed.
